I use Magisk but I have also heard about APatch or KernelSU. What do you use and what are the benefits of it?

My car’s android unit has some quad core processor , and it instantly boots up and reaches the home screen where as my phone takes almost 30 seconds or a minute to reach the home screen despite having much better hardware.

I’ve only heard of GrapheneOS (and that authy is insecure in the same breath, so I need better 2fa apps)....

Google Drive is adding support for automatically generated captions to videos you upload....

Saw Louis Rossmans original video on the app and figured (and it may well have been) it would be buggy and awful at that point. Decided to gike it a try, the app has all the options I could want for watching youtube, it’s multiplatform to a much greater degree than Newpipe and it’s forks....

Following testing in December, Google is moving Play Store search to the bottom bar with a new tab.Instead of a search bar at the top of the screen when you’re viewing the “Games” and “Apps” feeds, Google Play is switching to a “Search” tab at the center of the bottom bar.

Y’all know of any other FOSS clients for Spotify other than Spotube? It’s rather slow for me the times I’ve used it, so here I am asking for alternatives. Would be using it on my Android phone. Cheers!

Bloody Samsung think a base S24 for €900 is cheap. Not to mention the shitty Exynos it comes with in Europe.

Anyone has a fool proof method? Preferably that does not involve third party apps, or a Foss one....

When Google, along with a consortium of other companies, announced the open-source operating system we call Android way back in 2007, the world was paying attention. The iPhone had launched the same year, and the entire mobile space was wary of the rush of excitement around the admittedly revolutionary device. AOSP (Android Open...

I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade my phone to Android 11 (god for bid Android 13/14) on my Samsung S9....

Most pill apps are meant for scheduled medications, like something you take every morning. But I take a medication on-demand, with the only rule to take at most X per day and wait at least Y hours between taking. So I only need to worry about taking it too often. Is there an app where I can track when I take this medication, and...

I’ve been using China/Xiaomi Phones for the longest time and hated the installed Android Version because all of the clutter, bloat and privacy concerns. Now I am about to buy a Google Pixel 7 Pro....

We have seen hints in Google Photos that Google is going to make hiding faces from Memories easier and faster.

I have a Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G. It comes with the painfully slow USB 2.0. I wish to transfer local music files to it, but it’s taking a long time to get copied over USB connection as well as it fails in-between sometimes. Is there any way to transfer the files in a quick and reliable manner?

I have been loving Native Alpha. Being able to use web versions of apps and not be forced to hand over absurd privacy violating permissions is awesome. My only problem is it appears to run straight off of Chrome’s web engine, and I would rather use Firefox. In large part because of extensions/addons.

The Google Play Store is starting to roll out a local recommendations feature for promotions or app recommendations.

Just weeks after we complained about how over-compressed Google Messages RCS images are, it looks like a fix is already in the works.

I broke the screen on my pixel 7 pro, I took it to get repaired by a local shop & we discussed that I wanted an original part. They interpreted this as I want a “new” part, but not an original one. They’ve now done the repair with an aftermarket screen, which is much lower quality than an OEM part....

See title

In a rather prominent push, the “Start chat” floating action button now has a smaller Gemini FAB just above it. When you’re dealing with the rectangle, the square looks misaligned. Everything is visually correct upon scrolling.
